Korg nanoSeries Music Modules are Laptop Musician Gold

Korg's nanoSeries line of noise makers are unlike other Korg synths because they rely on computer production software to work. The slim, USB (data+power) devices are made to be portable, so you can take your studio on the go. nanoKEY is a 25-note keyboard, nanoPad has 12 Akai-style sampler/drum pads and Kaoss pad, and nanoKONTROL is a portable mixing board with 18 switches and 9 knobs. Release date and pricing are still TBD. [Music Radar]

Korg DS-10 Turns Your Nintendo DS Into a Serious Synthesizer


Musicians who lead double lives as gaming geeks will soon have their worlds collide when Korg releases its DS-10 software for the Nintendo DS. Basically, Korg has taken the design concept of their famous MS-10 synthesizer and thrown in a four-part drum module, two analog synth simulators, a 6-track/16-step sequencer and made it usable with the touchscreen. If I had any music ability, lived in Japan and had 4,800 yen ($47) burning a hole in my pocket, I would be all over this sucker when it is released this July. Official specs after the break. More »

Coldplay Flogging off Old, Unwanted Studio Equipment, but Gwyneth Stays

Coldplay, purveyors of middle-class mundanity to the eardrums of the worthy*, are having a garage sale at their studio. So, anyone who wants to pick up a gadget with Korg, Roland, Linn, Pearl, Hafler or Yamaha written on it, and which emanates a musical version of "Pew Pew," then head off to eBay, 'cause that's where you'll find it. Oh, and proof that Chris Martin is a very funny man indeed, after the jump.

New Music Keyboards from Korg, Yamaha


Good news, New Wave wannabes: Korg and Yamaha have relatively inexpensive new keyboards, just in time for the holidays. Korg's TR workstation feels a bit like a 1990s flashback with 64 MB of sounds (not quite luxurious), but both look like fun to play. The Yamaha MO keyboards connect to flash drives and hard drives via USB and integrate with your music software of choice. There's even an optional 88-key, hammer-action model for you skilled pianists out there. You might love them more than your first Casio. And at $1500 or less street, they cost about the same price as an Xbox 360 with accessories. -PK More »

Inside an $8,000, Linux-Powered Luxury Synth

Korg is announcing it will add cutting-edge physical modeling synthesis to its OASYS synth, for reproducing everything from acoustic stringed instruments to far-out experimental sounds and, yes, realistic amp feedback. So why is this synth $8,000—and why is it running Linux on a Pentium PC? Gizmodo regular Peter Kirn went to Korg for behind-the-scenes details, and got answers so geeky they were a natural for O'Reilly developer sites: More »
